Leonard Wickham

Wickham is distinguished from Bibby in the circuit lists by the consistent use of Len. He fought at a lighter class and relied on movement rather than sustained pressure. His corner’s lists are unusually neat. His lead was used as much to judge the gap as to score. He preferred a second chance to a desperate first attempt and would circle away when the angle had closed. In a crowded venue, that habit demanded particular care: the route he had left open at the start of a round might no longer be available.

Recorded style: Out-fighter.
